The Foothills of Civil War

We're in the foothills of another civil war.
The divide between left and right is burning and widening.
They have we the people, distracted and divided.
What's right is wrong, what's wrong is right. 

Peace undermined by rich squeaky mice
The silent behemoth of indifference.
The bent, dormant scales of justice. 
The uneven eye of the media leviathan.

Universities raping our children's minds.
Impregnated with Stalin, Lenin, Putin, and Xi's dirty seeds.
What's right is wrong, what's wrong is right.
Slapping Lady Liberty in the mouth
with metal tongs of intolerance.
Cutting out tongues of free speech-
of religion-of differing opinion

The socialist/commies and pacifists wonder why
we the people dream upon high-caliber nights.
It's because mad clowns and liberty cleavers
are running amok in the government.

The elite and naive are emptying jails onto our streets.
Rabid dogs are defiling peace, warping our history.
Useful idiots are slicing the stars from old glory.
Always burning and cutting and reaping and running.
Never sitting-talking-loving -discussing-seeding.
The entitled and elite sitting smug in gated communities.

The war eagles are quickly awakening as arrogance sleeps.

Hello There September 27, 2019 at 7:52 PM Wow, this was an amazing and powerful piece of writing... I am impressed with your writing and vision of the times we are currently living. I was having thoughts about the same sad, what seems, inevitability. More to say... Glad Panagiota mentioned your name in a piece she posted.

Panagiota Romios September 24, 2019 at 5:43 PM Awesome write and you know it! Clear as a bell Hope the socialist enjoy losing 2020.. Are they on crack? Pelosi starting impeachment hearings. Try cleaning up SF. Where store owners are being bitten by the spoiled SNOTS crapping in the streets. War? Led by Nadler, the Squad or those who hate whites. You better be a person of color or an Indian or a woman. Losers, all, take them to the Impeachment Ball. Big Walls surrounding the DNC convention. As if people in MAGA hats ever hurt anyone. ))) Panagiota A FAV
